I predicted this (anyone could have) on November 18: “Is the Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) now going to retract and apologize? Not on your life. The lie has served its purpose; there are still multitudes all over who believe it and will never hear the real story.”
An update on this story. “CAIR Defends Decision to Promote Disproven Hate Crime,” by Ari Blaff, National Review, November 21, 2023:
The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) defended its decision to promote Hesham Ayyad’s story of an alleged anti-Palestinian hate crime after it was revealed that law enforcement had arrested the man, alleging it was a hoax.
Ayyad, a twenty-year-old Ohio resident, was arrested last Tuesday alongside his brother, Khalil, on counts of falsification, obstructing official business, false alarm, and domestic violence, Cleveland.com reported last week.
When reached for comment, CAIR’s national communications director Ibrahim Hooper directed National Review to the group’s official statement on Tuesday. “Hate crimes pose a serious and escalating threat to the American Muslim community. When we receive credible reports of such crimes, we report them to law enforcement and ask for an investigation, which is what happened here,” the group noted on Tuesday. “In this case, the reported victim was hospitalized with severe injuries, lending further credence to his allegations. We do not know anything about the latest developments other than what law enforcement has publicly alleged against the two brothers, who are represented by their own legal counsel.”
“If false statements were made about this incident, that is unacceptable and should be addressed by law enforcement accordingly. In the meantime, we strongly condemn those anti-Muslim extremists who are already flooding social media with hateful messages that dismiss or even justify the very real rise in threats against American Muslims and others who support Palestinian human rights.”…

Translation: “We attempt to arrive at any potential discrimination site before Al Sharpton and the SPLC which is why we get it wrong so often. Those guys are fast and we’re not losing any more donations if we can help it. Apologize and take a rep hit? No way. And besides, Allah knows best and didn’t have any objections.”

Whom are these savages trying to mislead?

The willing dupes, useful idiots, and their own horde of screaming monkeys.

So, this story out of Ohio isn’t the first time they have made a false report.
In this hour long video, I contrast CAIR’s claim about a rising tide of Islamophobia with news reports of jihad, or violent Muslims. – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NGmoYrNijm0
There is no comparison between CAIR’s hysteria about social media posts, bacon, hoaxes, outliers, etc. and the real world.
Errors in reporting is a common occurrence. CAIR built their entire project on a false premise that there is some problem that requires CAIR expertise. And, they examples they give to us are too often evidence that CAIR is exaggerating, and being manipulative.
Because when they are not passing along false reports, they are manipulating emotions via their astonishing media access.
They did it with the Dying Child episode. How very much in the style of Hamas it is to hide behind a child. – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=03EuL3z2axc
They did with their 7 day media campaign against John Grasso, claiming his Facebook posts were causing people in his constituency to become fearful. Shouldn’t part of CAIR’s job be to let people know they have nothing to fear? Of course not! That would defeat the purpose of CAIR who is here to protect you from the danger. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gr3EEahcUgA
They did it when the mayor of Prospect Park, New Jersey was disinvited to a party, and so the Watch list system needs to be done away with. – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nJY62lxoWd0&list=PLlXFRJgYud-a88cO_bcRY3Q7tq7lCUTmF
So, it is not this one time. It is a common occurrence. Common enough that they can give an apology when it happens.

Drawing mohammed is simple. He’s a pig-faced dog. Draw that.

Doug Hooper, the Jew hating comms director of the terrorist organization CAIR, is one of allahu’s ackbarbarians. He follows the moon-god “allahahaha” invented by the pedophile rapist “mohammed” (the pig-faced dog), also known for sh1tting contents of the terror guide the koran into the arabian sands.
